Smarter than the storm through supercomputing

See how Lenovo’s HPC solutions are equipping researchers to study and predict storm behavior and coastal erosion through computational models and high-res simulations.

"My research team is the coastal and computational hydraulics team. We develop computer models to predict storm surge and coastal erosion. Computational models are ways to represent what's happening at the coast. If you ran them on a single desktop computer, they would take days or months. And so we need a really powerful supercomputer.

The Lenovo HPC powered by Intel is ideal because it is robust. It's fast, it's powerful, and it really allows us to focus on our research."

Computing in the eye of the storm: Using high-performance computing to stay ahead of the surge.

On the beautiful coast of North Carolina lies an enormous threat: storms. The researchers at NC State University are combatting that threat by studying and predicting storm behavior through computational models and high-resolution simulations.

Learn how Lenovo’s HPC solutions and industry leading performance for HPC by 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, are equipping them to fight coastal erosion by understanding weather patterns.
